This function enables you to search for a Keystone Symposia meeting by any word in the meeting title, location, organizer names, meeting summary or sessions (including session names, speaker names and talk titles).

SEARCHING BY A NAME: If you are searching based on a person's name, it is best to enter only part of the name, OR to enter the First Name, the word 'AND', and the Last Name, like this: "James AND Aiken".

KEYWORD(S) ENTERED

WOULD RETURN...

Aiken

James Aiken, Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, Walter Aikenstein

James AND Aiken

James Aiken, James W. Aiken, James R. AikenWould NOT find: Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, James Taylor

James OR Aiken

James Aiken, James W. Aiken, James R. Aiken, Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, James Taylor, James Johnson, Jesse James

We often list the person's full name with the Middle Initial.See 'Combined Words' below for more details.

Searches on the Keystone Symposia website can be modified to narrow or expand your search criteria using the terms listed below.

TERM

USE

EXAMPLE

AND

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer AND MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with both 'Cancer' and 'MicroRNA'. If just one of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would not be returned in the search. See NOTE below

OR

Used to expand your search.

Cancer OR MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with either 'Cancer' or 'MicroRNA'. If just one of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would be returned in the search. See NOTE below

You may use commas instead of the word OR...so 'Cancer OR MicroRNA' is the same as 'Cancer, MicroRNA'.

NOT

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer NOT MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with 'Cancer' but not 'MicroRNA'. If both of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would not be returned in the search. See NOTE below

Combined Words

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with 'Cancer MicroRNA', but not meetings with only 'Cancer', or only 'MicroRNA', or both words...it is expecting to find the term 'Cancer MicroRNA' which is unlikely. The better way to search would be to use 'Cancer AND MicroRNA' or 'Cancer OR MicroRNA', depending on what you were searching for. See NOTE below

Wildcards

Asterisk (*) - Used to expand your search...helpful if you know a part of a word, or part of a name you are looking for.

By default, any keyword you enter on the Keystone Symposia website will be 'wildcarded', so there is no need to enter a special character at the end of your term, such as an asterisk.

NOTE: When using 'AND', 'OR', and 'NOT', the FIRST word must be an exact match...

For example, searching for "Canc AND MicroRNA" is not the same search as "Cancer AND MicroRNA"; the first search would NOT return records with 'Cancer', only the second search would because the full word Cancer was typed.

Please be advised that some meeting participants have received calls and emails from a number of different housing services,
including "Exhibitors Housing Services," “Expo Housing Services,” "Global Housing," etc. THESE COMPANIES ARE NOT AFFILIATED
WITH KEYSTONE SYMPOSIA and are not authorized by Keystone Symposia to contact you. These companies may tell you that the meeting
is filling, without any actual knowledge to that effect, and pressure you into giving them your credit card number to make a
lodging reservation with them.

We highly recommend that you not make a reservation with these companies or any other housing service! These companies'
representations to participants have been misleading. Please report any calls or correspondence you might have received to
Keystone Symposia and book only through lodging links in your Keystone Symposia account, an established travel agency
or directly with the hotel(s) listed on our website.

Snowbird is located in the picturesque Wasatch Mountains of Utah. The Cliff Lodge offers ski-in/ski-out access, while condominiums located in The Lodge at Snowbird and The Inn are only 100 meters from the lifts and Cliff Lodge, where meetings are held. Each lodge has a heated pool and hot tub, and transportation around the resort is free upon request. Snowbird offers skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing, as well as many restaurants, shops, boutiques and a 28,000 square-foot health and beauty spa (accessible for a fee). Cross-country ski within just one mile of Snowbird Resort and, for further exploration of the area, arrange a rental car when you check in.

Tip #1:

For helpful tips on what to expect during your season of travel, check out Snowbird Utah

Tip #2:

Reserve guest rooms early. Rooms in the same building as the conference (Cliff Lodge) sell out quickly. If you are staying at a lodge other than the Cliff Lodge, you will need to take a free shuttle or a short walk between buildings via a new pedestrian bridge.

Snowbird Resort

Free local buses are available to and from Alta and Snowbird between the hours of 8am-3pm.

The food included will be:

a buffet breakfast each day of the meeting except departure day

coffee breaks

Social Hour with light snacks during poster sessions

The food offered varies by site. Menus of the daily food offered, as well as menus for area restaurants, when available, will be posted on-site. Social Hour is provided in order to give attendees an opportunity to socialize, enjoy a light snack and participate in the poster session. Limited seating is available.

Green Practices:

Snowbird Resort is a non-smoking resort and does not allow smoking indoors; outdoor smoking is only permitted in designated areas, 25 feet from any entrance, exit, window, or air intake.

The meetings are "resort casual" in dress (khakis, jeans, casual shirts, sweaters). Even if you are not participating in outdoor activities, we suggest you bring clothes appropriate for local weather temperatures. Clothes that can be layered, for use both indoors and outdoors, will work best.

January temperatures in Snowbird typically range between 10-35 degrees Fahrenheit, and April temperatures in Snowbird typically range between 20-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Snowbird receives significant snowfall for 6 months of the year.
